A Day at Ames Shows Practical Farm Innovations
The author tours Iowa Agricultural College at Ames, visiting the experimental barn, creamery, gardens, and seed rooms. He notes cement floors, cattle and milk testing, rustproof oats, wheat yields, new forage plants, and the creamery’s high per cow returns. He also observes horticulture trials, grafting work, and college facilities from dining halls to a new hall for women, praising the institution’s impact on Iowa farmers and the state economy.
